1. Who we are and what these Terms cover
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the website hotelsinberlins.de (the “Website”) and, where you subscribe, the paid intelligence subscription “The Brief” (the “Subscription”). The Website and the Subscription are operated by:
By using the Website or purchasing the Subscription, you agree to these Terms. Advisory services (diagnostics, negotiation representation, refinancing support, retainers) are not governed by these Terms — see Section 9.
2. Who the Website is for
The Website publishes capital intelligence for owners of hotel assets and other professional readers. Its content is directed at businesses and professionals (B2B). It is not directed at consumers, and nothing on the Website is an offer to the general public to buy, sell, or invest in anything.
3. Nature of the content — no advice
All content on the Website and in the Brief — articles, analyses, market commentary, frameworks, downloads, videos — is general information reflecting our professional opinion at the time of publication. It is not legal advice, tax advice, investment advice, or financial advice, and it is not a recommendation regarding any specific asset, transaction, or counterparty. Hotel and real estate markets change; content is not updated retroactively and may be outdated at the time you read it. Before acting on anything published here, obtain advice from qualified professionals who know your specific situation. We accept engagement for such individual advisory work only under Section 9.
No brokerage: We do not broker real estate transactions, loans, or investment products through this Website, and nothing here constitutes brokerage activity or an offer of brokerage services.
4. The Brief — subscription terms
4.1 What you get. The Subscription provides monthly editions of The Brief delivered by email. The scope of each edition is at our editorial discretion.
4.2 Price and payment. The Subscription costs €[49] per [monthly], plus VAT where applicable, payable in advance via [Stripe]. Prices may change; changes apply only from your next billing period and we will notify you at least [30] days in advance. If you do not accept a price change, you may cancel before it takes effect.
4.3 Term and cancellation. The Subscription runs for the billing period and renews automatically unless cancelled. You may cancel at any time with effect from the end of the current billing period via [CANCELLATION METHOD — e.g. the link in every edition or email to us]. We may discontinue the Brief entirely; in that case, prepaid amounts for undelivered periods are refunded pro rata.
4.4 Business subscribers. The Subscription is offered to businesses and professionals. By subscribing, you confirm that you are acting in a professional or commercial capacity.
4.5 Personal use. The Subscription is licensed to you or your organization as stated at purchase. Forwarding the Brief outside your organization, republishing it, or systematically sharing access is not permitted without our written consent.
5. Intellectual property
All content on the Website and in the Brief — text, frameworks, graphics, the LAC name and mark — is protected by copyright and other intellectual property rights and remains our property or that of our licensors. You may read, download, and print content for your own professional use. Any other reproduction, distribution, public communication, or creation of derivative works requires our prior written consent. Short quotations with attribution and a link to the source are welcome.
6. Your obligations
You agree not to: misuse the Website or attempt to interfere with its operation or security; scrape, harvest, or systematically extract content or data, including for training machine-learning models, without our written consent; use the Website or Brief content to create a competing publication; or share Subscription access in breach of Section 4.5. We may suspend or terminate Subscription access for material breach of these Terms; Section 4.3 refunds do not apply where termination results from your breach.
7. Availability
We aim to keep the Website and Brief delivery reliable but do not guarantee uninterrupted availability. Maintenance, technical faults, and circumstances outside our control may cause interruptions. Planned changes to the Website’s structure or content offering may occur at any time.
8. Liability
We are liable without limitation for intent (Vorsatz) and gross negligence (grobe Fahrlässigkeit), for injury to life, body, or health, and under mandatory statutory liability provisions. For simple negligence, we are liable only for breach of essential contractual obligations (Kardinalpflichten) — obligations whose fulfilment makes proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose fulfilment you may regularly rely — and in that case limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract. In all other respects, liability is excluded. In particular, and subject to the above, we are not liable for decisions you make in reliance on Website or Brief content (see Section 3).
9. Advisory services — separate engagement only
Diagnostics, contract reads, negotiation representation, refinancing support, and retainers are provided exclusively under an individual written engagement agreement concluded between us and the client, which alone governs scope, fees, confidentiality, and liability for that work. Nothing on this Website — including descriptions of services and indicative fees — constitutes an offer capable of acceptance; service descriptions are an invitation to contact us (invitatio ad offerendum). No advisory relationship arises from reading the Website, subscribing to the Brief, or sending us an inquiry.
10. Links to third parties
The Website links to third-party websites and profiles (including LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube). We have no control over their content and accept no responsibility for it. At the time of linking, no legal violations were apparent to us.
11. Privacy
Our handling of personal data is described in the Datenschutzerklärung (privacy policy) available at https://hotelsinberlins.de/privacy-policy/. It applies alongside these Terms.
12. Changes to these Terms
We may amend these Terms with effect for the future. For Subscription customers, we will notify you of material changes at least [30] days before they take effect; if you do not accept them, you may cancel with effect from the date the changes take effect. Continued use of the Subscription after that date constitutes acceptance.
13. Governing law and jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). If you are a merchant (Kaufmann), a legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction is Berlin.
14. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is or becomes invalid, the remaining provisions remain unaffected. The invalid provision shall be replaced by the statutory rule that comes closest to its commercial purpose.
